[voice over] I guess there's a plan for all of us. I had to die - twice - just to figure that out. Like the book says, Heworks in mysterious ways. Some people like it... some people don't.

Angels and demons can't cross over into our plane. So instead we get what I call "half-breeds." The influence peddlers. They can only whisper in our ears. A single word can give you courage, or turn your favorite pleasure into your worst nightmare. Those with the demon's touch and those part angel, living alongside us. They call it The Balance. I call it hypocritical bullshit.

[Flips off demon] For your boss.

[Whispering into the ear of a possessed girl] This is Constantine. John Constantine, asshole.

[Speaking to God] I know I'm not one of Your favorites, and I'm not welcome in Your house, but I could use a little attention, please.

[traps a spider under a cigarette-smoke filled glass] Welcome to my life.

Heaven and hell are right here, behind every wall, every window, the world behind the world. And we're smack in the middle.

You don't need His protection. It'll be like back in the day.

[As Midnite holds him up against a wall] Is this neutral? Bullshit! You're the only one playing by the rules, Midnite. And while you've been imitating Switzerland, people are dying. [Midnite lets him slump to the ground] Two hundred dollar shirt, by the way.

[After punching Gabriel in the face] That's called pain. Get used to it.

Ellie: [Chaz Kramer had already put the Holy Cross into the water tank. John pulls the fire-detector, holy water sprinkles down]Holywater?

[The demons' flesh burns and they scream in agony]

Midnite: [As he is strapping John into the electric chair] Tell me this isn't about a girl?

John Constantine: Definitely... mostly not about the girl.

Midnite: [While John is strapped in the electric chair] You sure about this?

John Constantine: No.

[Midnite electrocutes him, John screams]

Gabriel: [Gabriel sits on top of John Constantine, explaining her rebellion] You're handed this precious gift, right? Each one of you granted redemption from the Creator – murderers, rapists, molesters – all of you just have to repent, and God takes you into His bosom. In all the worlds and all the universe, no other creature can make such a boast, save man. It's not fair.

[Gabriel leans closer to Constantine's face]

Gabriel: If sweet, sweet God loves you so, then I will make you worthy of His love. But it's only in the face of horror that you truly find your nobler selves – and you can be so noble. So … I will bring you pain. I will bring you horror.

[Gabriel lifts up Constantine from his collar]

Gabriel: So that you may rise above it. So that those of you who will survive this reign of hell on earth will be worthy of God's love.
